Wrong motor.
You want a 90-94 Protege LX or 91-95 Escort GT.
You know... I saw an Escort GT at my salvage Yard... I don't know what the year is... the car is there and is fully intact, so I doubt the motor is running.

There might be another one over there... although I particularly do not like the idea of grabbing and engine from an escort

my mother use to have one and that thing was a Piece of crap.

A BP from a Mazda, Escort or Kia is still a BP
